CLEANSING RITUAL
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Hawk West Desk Window 9:45pm
If God Creates
The Universe
She Does It Every Night
She Spits Out Stars
Against Her Mirror Image
in an effort to floss
Her Identity
then brushes thoroughly
aggressively
Her Set Of Calcified Moons
to eject a frothing paste
down
into
the
sink
hole
Bold!
Way ta go, Ben! That’s the spirit.
